edbd58ca43 search for NixOS CD, mount it, copy packages onto the target disk for real
now. Only IDE drives supported so far.

bc3ffa3458 get NixOS more towards an installable state. Stuff now actually gets installed on the disk itself. Missing is functionality to detect the right drive with
the install CD in it.

8151b78162 add necessary packages. Now it works and we have to decide:
- either add the device with mknod
- use hotplug to build all devices dynamically

93bcd71b15 This update fixes a few critical errors:
- cd to the right directory when making the initramfs image (stupid stupid stupid mistake, cost me a day of work!)
- make a bunch of devices inside the ramdisk
- copy the kernel and all modules to the CD image
- set the #! line in fill-disk to the right place (as in, append /bin/sh, another stupidity, which was luckily easily spot after fixing the first mistake, which was far more important)

45492df16b reduce the size of the initrd a lot

9c56696e75 support for initrd. Right now the image is *WAY* too big, so it boots with
a kernel panic. initrd should be brought back to a few megabytes instead
so it can be safely unzipped in memory.

Ideas:
- klibc instead of glibc
- leave out a lot of packages in the initrd:
  - gcc
  - linux-headers
  - ...
- have a minimal "stage 1", which mounts the CD (figure out how) and
remounts part of the CD on /nix and /nixpkgs

device should be enabled on the host in order for the UML machine to
  be able to talk to the Internet.

3514c5658b * Proper sysvinit boot/halt. At runlevel 2, creates login shells at
virtual consoles 0 and 1.  To shutdown, do `init 0' (`halt' and
  `shutdown' don't work because they call /sbin/init).

  Ctrl-[C, Z]).

e019265ec9 * Scripts to set up and run the absolute minimal pure Nix
environment; that is, an operating system environment in which there
  is (essentially) only a store.

  The script `make-disk.sh' creates an ext2 disk image, creates a Nix
  store in it, and copies the closure of the bash package (from
  nixpkgs) to it.  The script `run.sh' then starts bash in a UML
  virtual machine.

  The contents of the image after creation look like this:

  $ ls -l
  drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root         1024 2004-02-14 19:13 dev
  lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           61 2004-02-14 23:34 init -> /nix/store/e40873ece7a010752ad72b4262b23d28-bash-2.05b/bin/sh
  drwx------    2 root     root        12288 2004-02-14 19:13 lost+found
  drwxr-xr-x    4 root     root         1024 2004-02-14 19:13 nix
  drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root         1024 2004-02-14 19:13 proc
  drwxrwxrwt    2 root     root         1024 2004-02-14 19:13 tmp

  The next step is to add all the other stuff that goes into a working
  system (coreutils, etc.).  BTW, if you don't have `ls' you can still
  list directories by doing `echo *' :-)

  Nix itself should also be Nixified so that it can be put into the
  store.
